Best Earn Poems


Premium Member Tough Way To Earn Wings

Pandemic crisis
Hospital overload
Unprecedented
Panic mode

Double shifts
No time for tears
No one signed up
For a suicide mission

Heroes collapsing
One after the other
Earning their wings
And our respect

Hearts Are To Earn Not To Have

Earn it
if you want it.
My heart is not a toy;
you can't get at it easily
It's mine.

Earn Dont Take

He is a mechanic
Repairing failed brakes
to help or to worsen
I know not

for many have fallen victims
in his act of mechanikism
the failed brake he repairs
but to second mission it

He wants it second missioned
but the result he reasons not
for life he thinks laughed
The car now bloody


We Learn and We Earn

To learn is to earn, to earn is to learn
Learning is earning, earning is learning
Is the word learning same from earning?
Does learning and earning always go together?
Learning to earn is like the greatest learning
Earning to learn is an incredible earning
People prefer to learn and earn at the same time
But many are earning without learning
If to learn and to earn are partners in life
Why some people fail to earn while they learn?
Are learners really going to earn?
Are earners really going to learn?
Said that life is a matter of learning and earning
To learn is as easy as to earn
To earn is as hard as to learn
Everyday we learn and we try to earn
But we earn hardly and we try to learn
If this poem helps you to learn something 
That adds the best earning of your life

Premium Member To Earn a Pardon

Adam and Eve sneaked back to the Garden
Hoping to earn for their sin a pardon
   Eve saw the damn snake
   And began to quake
Snapped snake: "Out of this garden you're barred in."

Premium Member Step Right Up To the Plate and Earn Your Paycheck

Do you make sure to tap all the dirt from your spikes with your bat,
 even if it takes two full-length TV time-outs for you to do so?

Do you cross yourself once, twice, thrice,
 or perhaps fidget and fiddle with the letters on your uniform,
  no matter that they're sewn on so tightly that Superman himself couldn't
   budge 'em?  

Do you rub your hands together vigorously enough to make 'em bleed,
 perhaps because you've just spit into them in the on-deck circle?

Do you take myriad cumbersome practice swings with three weighted bats,
 flinging them aside to wave the feathery club remaining menacingly as you
  turn to face the pitcher?
  
Do you dance and prance to some hip melody, like an apprentice snake-
charmer, as you approach the plate, inviting fans to heap trashloads of scorn and abuse on the batting helmet perched atop your fashionably overlong hair?

Or do you stride to the plate purposefully without all of that fussing and  
 fumbling, or all that commotion, to focus on doing what batters have 
  historically tried to do, which is to hit the tarnation out of that little round
   ball zooming toward them at upwards of 90 m.p.h?
---Well, if that's what you do, then I am sure you're not a major-league player:
     They earn their $4.5 million annual paychecks by doing 
                                all that other stuff.


Earn a Living

I be dealing on the side 
To make ends meet
So forgive me if I prefer to hide,
It's my end that I don't want to meet 

Cause I've got many mouths to feed 
And many faces looking at me
So that when I speak they lip read,
For what I say goes, life for them is up to me 

So forgive me if I'm different
It's my choice of my life
I was always born different
That's why at my age I don't have a wife 

Cause I've got responsibilities on me
My priority right now is family and myself
And I don't want to pile one more body on me
Cause they're days when it gets tough to take care of myself 

But be grateful I still send money home
When you receive just know I'm alive
Sorry I'm not able to call home
It's cause I don't have a permanent place I live 

I'm always on the move at times I'm the corner boy
So I have to be on the look out at all times
But since I've been good I'm the go to boy
So my product always gets sold out all times

Dirty Money

Dirty money like an ice cube in parched hand hastily fades.

     The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.

Earn the Others' Respect

M-en's given respect 
H-as to be ardently earned; 
A-sking is not an option, 
R-equest too is just burned.

M-an must learn to respect, 
E-arly eighth of September; 
M-aking someone's esteem
B-ig, great, and better: 
R-egard is highly special, 
E-ven utmost and perfect; 
V-ery good in your endeavor, 
E-arn the others' respect.

Live Less Than You Earn

Think twice first
Before you buy something; 
Do you really need it? 
Or would you only like it having? 

Never must one be envious, 
Competing against another; 
Budget hard-earned income, 
To grow, thrive and prosper.

Never become shopaholic, 
Be a wise spender instead; 
Having no ways and means, 
Control what's in your head.

There is no easy money, 
Never become luxurious; 
Gold rings and bracelets
Pile up loans so serious.

Learn to be content, 
Long not for too much riches; 
Look for enough assets
To have no liabilities.

Make the right decisions, 
Instead of the wrong turn; 
Save cents for the future, 
Live less than you earn.

Earn Enough Money

J-ust earn enough money, 
O-r make both ends meet; 
V-igorously use your hands, 
E-ach job must be legal or 
N-eat. 

E-arnestly earn enough money, 
S-ixth of March early Tuesday; 
P-ay all your bills on time, 
L-ive your life in a nice way. 
A-lmighty God will show you 
N-othing but milk and honey; 
A-sk Him for bountiful blessings, as you earn enough money.

Premium Member They Earn a Bale of Pay

Elected representatives
   sure earn a bale of pay
Yet rarely do we hear back home
   'bout one had something nice to say

Earn the Love and Keep It

Earn the love  and keep it,
turn each impossible thought
into a believable fact;
earn it and be worthy of it.

Paint love in bright colors,
accept the joys it gives,
don't reject its boring times:
follow in the footsteps of lovers.

Earn the love and keep it,
strengthen it
with togetherness 
and push it
in the right direction;
in wanting it, 
you reinforce devotion.

Keeping it puts you into high gear,
avoiding it is a cause built on a lie;
and whichever side you turn to,
you dig deeper the hole left inside of you,
with bitterness, you'll say,
" I was the generous giver with the biggest heart,
now, I am the lonely one in search of myself.

Earn the love and keep it,
in bringing it upright
there's merit beyond thought;
now, I am the repentant 
one who'll pay the high cost,
the lost one without worth.

What I Did

I get it
I finally understand
You did not feel like my first choice
And the problem is you weren't
But you should have been
I treated you like I have been treated before
I once felt like you
I didn't realize that until it was too late
That is how come I lost my best friend
I wasn't his first choice anymore and he wasn't the same
But maybe we can rebuild you and I
We can't fix what is broken
But we can make a new
Just give me a chance
And let me tell you this
You have made me better
Thank You

Rise Up and Earn the Victory

Rise up and earn the victory
Do not settle for second best
You have come to far
Always motivated to strive for excellence
Continue to reach for the stars
Put yourself in the position to aspire
Walk along the golden path
Always reach higher
